I kept my nose to the grindstone to finish all my goals. I'm tired but they are all done! Yes, every single one! Want to see?

Make 1 more quilt✔️ I made, quilted and bound the last of the Happy Quilts.
Add pieces (steps, windows and roofs) to the landscape quilt. Added some steps, a tree, and a roof. Needs more.
Pick next main project ✔️I'll be working on a new quilt
I did 3 bindings in a row -- all 3 of the happy block quilts. I used the leftover backing for the binding. It was a surprising stiff fabric even after initial washing. I shouldn't be surprised that might needle bent. I had some pretty thick sections to go over while I was binding.
As I was stitching down the second side of the binding on the third quilt, I started to worry I would run out of thread. I have no more and the Mettler Silk Finish I like isn't available locally. Never fear, I didn't run out.
So what's up for this week? I'm planning on a little down time. Read a book, maybe make a batch of cookies. There are a few things I'd like to make progress on though.

Finish labeling quilts and mail
Add some more details to landscape quilt
Quilt customer’s quilt
Read a book
Start looking for fabrics for a baby quilt
You might have noticed I don't plan on going wild sewing this coming week. I'm going to take it easier. I also need to do some cleaning in the studio. I might even finish a book or two.
I'm linking up with To Do Tuesday, and MidWeek Makers.
Happy Quilting All! Bonnie
It sounds like you deserve some downtime, Bonnie! That's a lot of finishing in a week! Definitely, read a book, bake some cookies, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you add to your landscape quilt!
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie! With all the checkmarks from last week you certainly deserve to read a book or two. I love to read! What a fun a colorful quilt finish you've shared. I wonder where these finished quilts are going? Good luck with next week's list especially if you get to baking those cookies! Thank you for linking up this week. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteHooray for a completed list! Enjoy the cookies!
ReplyDeleteBravo! You were definitely focused on your goals. Seeing the bent needle reminds me that I need to change the needle in my machine.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I usually lose the thread chicken! LOL
ReplyDeleteBravo on your completions! I get the biggest satisfaction out of emptying spools! LOL
ReplyDeleteWowsers - you are a human dynamo! Great progress! I am envious of your energy.
ReplyDeleteLove the Happy Quilt in turquoise! But yikes, that needle! Better bent than broken, I suppose :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing off the last of the Happy Quilts. Hope you've already made good progress on your to do list for this week.
